shoal by the crew OF tn

Forward, and he. Immediately COM
menced the necessary preparations. An
anchor was placed astern with haxser
attached. and after an hours work they
were gratiied to hear the scraping of the
coral under the bottom as she commenced
to move, and then to feel the freedom OF
her motions as she foaied in the water.
After ascertaining that the Connaught
had sustained no serious injury from her
contact with the shoal, Captain Seabreeze
determined to keep her in company with
the Forward, and selected an officer and
eight men from his ship for a crew l
asked his permission. and was allowed to
go on board the barque in place OF anoth-
er officer, and towards the close of this
eventful day the two vessels got under
way and proceeded on their voyage to the
southwark. The sad duty of committing
to the deep the bodies OF those who had
been killed ON board the Connaught was
performed, and the wind. increasing with
the setting sun, carried US safely through
the islands into the open sea. where we
were free from further molestation.
Ten days later We arrived at Batavia,
the capital of the island of Java, where
the OOnuaugnl anu neE SURVIVORS were
placed in charge of the English consul.
and the Forward sailed out into the Indi-
an ocean, and in due time arrived in New
York.
A few months later l noticed in the for
eign news column of a daily paper the
following item: The commander of her
majesty's ship Porpoise reports that hav-
ing visited the town OF Sibang IN the 500
loo Archipelago to inquire into the outrage
committed by some of the natives OF those
islands upon the English barque Con-
naught, he was unable to obtain any re-
dress from the rajah, nor would he make
any efforts to deliver the offenders to JUS
tice. The commander had. therefore, at
ter giving due notice Of his intention, fired
upon the town, DESTROYED the mud forts by
which it was defended, and completed the
punishment by landing force of sailors,
who set on fire and destroyed the houses
that the bombardment had left unin "
Tne destruction of this piratical strong
hold was complete, and the punishment
so effective that any further interference
with Europeans on the part of the natives
has been unknown.-BOSton Traveller.

TAKING OFF THEIR HATS.
Ladies Helping to Garry Out Mr.. FrOhman's
Plan.
New Yc1k Times ]

New York Times
A little woman. wearing a tall TyTolean
hat surmounted with Haunting red feather,
walked into the lobby of the Lyceum The
alter last evening with young man whose
careful and painstaking appearance in
Dictated that he had only recently
been married. While the young man
conferred with the keeper Of the box
Office the young woman saw this sign
in black letters on a post: Ladies
the adjoining room. No fees" She read
the sign over twice, and when she got
through the second time she saw hand
pointing toward the Iight-hand side door.
She looked about, hesitated painfully mo-
ment, and, without once looking at her hus-
band, made dash for the room that Man
ager Daniel Frohman has set apart for the use
OF ladies who do not wish to wear their hats
at the play. In a moment she had returned
hatless, and when her husband turned from
the box-ofice with confused bunch of silver
certificates and parquet tickets in his hands
she was looking demurely at one Of Helen
DGuvray's photographs
wh-whGts-where' your
hat?" the young man gssped.
By way of reply the young woman directed
his attention to the sign on the post. When
the light of intelligence at length dawned
upon him, the young man shed his hat, over
coat and walking-stick upon the cloak-room
counter, anu WInSkeu the young WOuldu up
stairs.
A few minutes later a party of twenty-four
ladies and gentlemen, most OF them young,
led by Francis I. Garrettson and his daugh-
ter, crowded into the lobby. Some of the
ladies wore only nubias and small caps on
| their heads; the others left their hats in the
ladies' cloak-room. 1t was the first hatless
theater party that had visited the Lyceum.
| The party, which had driven to the theater
| in three big stages, occupied seats on the
! left side of the parquet. Soon afterward a
| hatless party Of ten came in. When the play
began there were nearly thirty ladies hats
hanging on hooks in the cloak. room.
While the orchestra was playing the over
| ture gentleman and two ladies entered the
lobby. The gentleman pointed out Manager
Frohman's placard.
al don't care" said one of the ladies, my
hat isn't any taller than any others, and Pm
not going to take it Off"
"Well, mine isn't any taller than yours, =
said the other young lady. 81 shan't take
| it Off"
''Oh, there's nothing compulsory about
| it," the gentleman fastened to say. "You
| can do Just as you like" The ladies went
| upstairs with their hats on.
Manager Frohman said last evening that
the movement against the high hat was gain
| ing in favor with the ladies nightly. He
wished it to be understood that it was not
| necessary for the ladies to take OFF their hats
to secure the object aimed at; If they would
wear small hats the effect would be the
same. Several ladies appeared at the Lyceum
| last evening in becoming low-crowned hats.

so that the interior of the tree could receive
more air and sunshine, and thus enable the
little twigs along the main limbs to perfect
and ripen the fruit setting on them, which
is always large part of the product of the
tree.
When pullets are forced to lay early, by
stinlulaDts or highly concentrated food, it is
an injury, as it taxes the vitality. A pullet
that is forced will lay very small eggs for
while, and when she ceases, in order to nest,
she will not begin again as soon as a matured
hen. She becomes prematurely old, and does
not prove on the average as profitable as
when she is given ample time to mature be-
fore beginning to lay.
An examination of high-class butter Of
ferred for SALE says the Cultivator, shows
that those specimens made blythe centrif
ugal process are soft during the heated
term, even when kept in refrigerators that
harden the Jumps of butter made in the
ordinary way. We are convinced that the
choicest butter can not be produced where
the milk or cream is subjected to such
violent motion as il receives in the centrif-
ugal machine.
The special good points in duck culture
are: ~ They never have cholera, Group or
gapes, they never get drowned, .sand after the
| first week not per cent. are lost. (2) They
| lay more eggs, which hatch better than
hens eggs. (3) They have fine and deliciou:
| flesh for the table use. az They attain to
three and a half to four pounds weight ia
ten weeks time, and in the Eastern market
where they are known and appreciated
| they command a ready sale at from twenty
| TO forty-fve cents per pound in the spring.

the rings will come then, in which case add
one to the number. If she calves at three
years old, ADD two. No rings are found upon
bulls. and If oxen have them they are very
rarely seen under five years of age; hence.
add five to the number. The teeth are not
IN be depended upon, as the manner of treat
ment and kind of feed will affect them. At
birth two teeth are to be seen, and in eighteen
months there is a set of broad, well-grown
teeth. But from this they begin to grow
narrow, and at about six months later the
middle ones will drop out, when Others take
their places. Each following year two more
will drop out until the first teeth are shed,
and in this way one can generally tell the age
OF the animal until it is five years old, when
a new set has been formed. AS has been in
tlmated, there will be some variations from
this, and from six years you can not tell alb
solutely by the teeth.

sncinlistic Hnmburs.
lChicago Evening Journal. !


When, few months ago, DR.. Aveling aud
his wife, the English Socialists, and Herr
Liebknecht. the German Socialist, came to
the United States on lecturing tour, it was
given out that they were animated by
humanitarian motives alone, and the i'm
preston conveyed was that they were self
sacrificing evaDgelists, who had come to our
shores at their own expense to preach the
gospel of Socialism.
1t now appears that DR.. Aveling was paid
81 800 in clean cash for his thirteen weeks
labor, and it was only when a supplement-
airy bill for $500 more, part OF which
covered the item of corsage bouquets for
Mrs. Aveling, was presented that the Ma
tional Executive Board rebelled at the En-
glishmans avarice. How much Herr Lieb-
knecht received for firing the German heart
with the principles of.Socialism has not yet
appeared. Probably he got his 800 week,
too. 1t has been charged that the object of
his visit was to raise funds to assist the
Socialists at the elections in Germany, but he
denies this, and explains that his American
friends promised to send funds for that pur-
pose although unasked to do so. So it seems,
at any rate, that money was one of the OBJ
jects of the German agitstor's visit, if it was
not the main object.
And so it will always be found that these
professional agitators who go about the
country making great parade OF their love
for the down-trodden and oppressed and pre-
tending to be concerned ONLY for the good of
others are, in fact chiefly interested in
putting money in their own pockets. Some
of them are schemIDg to get political Office,
and others manage, by hook or by crook. to
get good pay tor their pretended services ss
they go along; but every one OF them, from
first to last, has an Interior and selfish object

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Jam Sauce-A teaspoonful of water to half
q pot of jam; stir it and melt it on the fire;
then strain it and pour it round your pud-
ding.
Solidi6ed Beef Tea-One way to beguile
an invalid into taking more beef tea than he
is willing to is to add gelatine to it and let it
cool in mold. When it is hard and like
jelly serve it with salt and waters.
Fried Bread.-Take half-pint of sweet
milk and add a well-beaten egg and little
salt; dip in this slices of bread (if dry let it
soak minute) and fry on a 0uttered griddle
until it is q light brown on each side. This
is a good way to use up dry bread.
Pocket Cakes.-"Children's pocket-cakes''
may be made of one pint of -four mixed with
the yelk Of one egg; sWeeten with a cup of
soft brown sugar, flavor with any favorite
seasoning, mace, nutmeg or cinnamon. Roll
out quite thin and cut in fancy shapes. Bake
quickly.
Vermicelll Soup.-The stock for vermicelli
soup is better made of chicken or veal than
of beef; both chicken and veal may be used
together. Add anything to the stock you
may prefer, and boil the vermicelh in the
strained soup until tender, which should be
IN about twenty minutes.
Apple Turnover.-Roll out tolerably thin
little piece of light pastry; place in T. g
large apple Of good baking kind, pared and
cored cover it we'll with the paste and Sc
cure it firmly; bake it IN a temperate oven.
-Four of these turnOvers as they are called,
make a dish. They are good either hot or
cold.
Fried Oysters.-Select the largest aud
plumpest. Drain and spread on a cloth.
Beat very light two or three eggs. Dip the
oyster first in egg, then in rolled cracker.
Have the butter perfectly hot, and enough
in the pan to cover the oyster. Lay them
in, and when brown turn and brown the
other side.
For an economical pudding take thin
slices of stale bread, butter them on both
sides, cover the bottom of pudding dish
with them and spread jam of any kind over
them; then edd another layer, and SO on
until the dish is full. Have a thin layer OF
buttered bread on top. Serve hot, with
cream or a custard made of pint of milk,
one cup of sugar and two eggs.

The use of the so-called condition DOW
deTs" for live stock is to be reprehended,
says the Breeders Gazette for the double
reason that no one knows of what they are
composed, and that the different ailments of
animals are not all caused by the same con-
ditions, and il is preposteTous to suppose that
any one remedy will answer for their cor
reetion. The same objections apply with
equal force to the "quack" nostr inns in
powders and bottles which are everywhere
advertised, and which unfortunately meet
with too ready sale. They generally con-
without any definite knowledge OF the
the animal, often do incalculable harm. We
have before US at the present writing a
pamphlet issued in this city advertising
charcoal and carboniZed iron powders" as q
sovereign remedy for all animal diseases.
Charcoal is made the vehicle, and with it are
concealed such drugs-and no one knows
what they areas the manufacturers may
choose to incorporate. They pretend to even
cure pleuro- pneumonia IN cattle and CHAMBERS
IN horses, and II we are to accept these
claims as an evidence of their intelligence
and good faith they are simply ignorant
eharlatans- The safest plan is to let all such
compounds and all such INSCRIPTIONS
people alone. II an animal is ailing and the
assistance of a competent veterinarian can
not be secured, and medical treatment is re-
garded as necessary, the better pan will be
